While the Franco film stands up on its own, it certainly helps to be familiar with The Room if you’re going to see The Disaster Artist.
Meanwhile, Regal Cinemas will hold a one-night-only series of double features of The Room and The Disaster Artist on Thursday night, at theaters nationwide.
Note: you probably shouldn’t yell out or throw anything in a screening of The Disaster Artist, tempting as that may be.
When it comes to The Room, of course, there are no rules, and these customs change over time.
